TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a raw material conveying device for food processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of food processing, raw material conveying is a key link connecting raw material storage and production processing, which directly affects product quality and production efficiency. At present, the raw material conveying devices widely used by food processing enterprises, such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors and pipeline conveyors, still have many technical deficiencies in actual application, and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern food production for safety, accuracy and intelligence.
[0003] Firstly, the existing conveying device mainly relies on manual sampling inspection for raw material quality detection, which has obvious limitations: on the one hand, manual detection is low in efficiency and high in cost, and it is difficult to realize full-process and full-coverage detection. For small impurities such as metal scraps, plastic impurities and stones in granular or powdery raw materials, as well as abnormal states such as damp clumping, discoloration and deterioration of raw materials, it is easy to miss detection; on the other hand, manual judgment is affected by subjective experience, fatigue degree and other factors, and the detection standard is not unified, which may lead to unqualified raw materials entering the subsequent processing link and causing food safety hazards.
[0004] Secondly, the traditional conveying device lacks effective real-time monitoring means, and the response to abnormal conditions in the conveying process is lagging: for example, raw materials may be blocked, off-loaded or leaked during conveying, which needs to be discovered by manual and then processed, often leading to raw material waste, equipment damage, and even affecting the continuous operation of the production line; at the same time, the control of conveying flow mainly depends on experience adjustment, and it is difficult to dynamically adjust according to the actual conveying amount of raw materials, which easily leads to excessive or insufficient supply, affecting the stability of the subsequent processing technology.
[0005] In addition, the existing conveying device has not established a perfect data recording and tracing system, and the key information such as raw material batch information, quality detection data and equipment running state in the conveying process cannot be effectively retained. When product quality problems occur, it is difficult to quickly trace the source, conveying path and related process parameters of the problem raw materials, which is not convenient for the investigation and responsibility definition of quality problems, and also difficult to meet the requirements of food production safety regulations on traceability management.
[0006] Therefore, it is a key requirement to develop an intelligent food raw material conveying device capable of realizing accurate detection of raw material quality, real-time monitoring of conveying process and data tracing throughout the process. SUMMARY
